I think allergies and being awake for 20 hours is starting to catch up with me

[quasi mantle]

The bitshift hack and the magic number is so fascinating and indeed

what the fuck

[regal pecan]

TLDR version: Curve fitting

[quasi mantle]

I wonder if the What The Fuck Q_rsqrt can be repurposed to PlayStation 1 architecture.

As far as I'm aware, PS1 lacked floating point support, so the implementation could be super hacky

[fathom wadi]

imagine making games purely from integers.

[primal spoke]

I just came across sad discord image.

Its weird seeing discord look that way.

like stressed and tired.

[regal pecan]

Finally, a discord for me.

[fathom wadi]

lol

I haven't had a good night's sleep in almost 4 months. Every night is a waking nightmare of lucidity.

so that is my face most of the time

[primal spoke]

Don't drink coffee so close to bedtime.

[fathom wadi]

I dont. I have one coffee in the morning when I get out of bed and thats it

[primal spoke]

I wish I could drink coffee all day without consequence.

[fathom wadi]

I need a big bag of green sunshine so I can go deep for a night or two tbh

[primal spoke]

is green sunshine code for NyQuil?

[fathom wadi]

no the other green sunshine. natural stuff

[primal spoke]

money bags ponkkis.

lately I have been gaming in front of my laptop while lying in bed and just passing out.

but in a healthy way.

[fathom wadi]

I've been flipping between several projects trying to land on my feet, but keep landing on my arse and heading back to the start.

[primal spoke]

different issues maybe?

[fathom wadi]

I just need to get paid so I can move my kids out of this god awful wreck of a house

so Im all over the place in panic mode

I have 3 days left to finish this 11second club animation so I guess thats gonna force my focus but its unpaid work so im not motivated

[primal spoke]

I thought you didn't do unpaid work? Is it for a friend?

[fathom wadi]

no its a competition

[primal spoke]

no maybe not unpaid then?

if you win

[fathom wadi]

I doubt I will win but it felt like it was worth it for the exercise with getting facial tracking working with metahumans

[primal spoke]

I just hosted a game jam not too long ago and gave away $1,500 to the top three games with the first place game taking $750.

[fathom wadi]

nice

[primal spoke]

Are there any other paid jams?

rn

[fathom wadi]

I've never done a game jam. I was planning on doing something for the Mega Jam in August tho

[primal spoke]

I've never done a jam personally either, but I hosted one. which seems kind of backwards.

[fathom wadi]

howcome you set that up? Was there any benefit for you or your business?

[primal spoke]

I might host another one this year.

[primal spoke]

it helped others more than myself.

[fathom wadi]

nice

[primal spoke]

It got a co-host a job.

and it put money into the pockets of some really talented indie devs.

I was able to get a cash sponsorship for the jam so that was nice.

pygame was sponsor and some other folks as well.

[fathom wadi]

I bet the first game jam for UE5 will be hot

[primal spoke]

Yeah its probably gonna be big.

SideFX sponsored the last Epic jam.

We tried to get them to sponsor my jam, but ultimately failed.

[fathom wadi]

I want to see someone do an Accessibility Jam. With the focus on coming up with new accessibility features to use as gameplay methods

[primal spoke]

This doesn't already exist?

[fathom wadi]

not that I am aware of

I haven't kept up to date with the able gamers scene recently though since my twitter ban

[primal spoke]

Well if you ever feel like hosting a jam just reach out. Its surprisingly easy on itch. This was the jam I hosted: https://itch.io/jam/sonicworkflows-valentines-day-jam

28 entries but 207 joined.

[fathom wadi]

I have no money to put up for it. I could offer my charming wit and several puns and/or cheap jokes tho

[primal spoke]

You don't have to have money.

it can be just for awareness and whatnot.

I chose to include a cash prize because I know that would get more participation.

@fathom wadi also, you can get cash sponsors or prize sponsors who may be interested in the cause.

[fathom wadi]

yeah maybe Ill look into that then. For the cause.

[primal spoke]

found a Jam called Accessibility Jam: http://jams.gamejolt.io/accessibilityjam

I figure there would be one, Accessibility is too big of a topic not to have something like this.

but it doesn't look like it is a recurring jam.

[carmine frigate]

ive done a few gamejams 😛

[primal spoke]

how was it? host or participant?

[carmine frigate]

diffrent every time i guess

participant

[primal spoke]

Hey if you are sincere about wanting to do an accessibility jam soon I would be more than happy to chip in with something for winners of the jam.

[humble remnant]

Ohno

UE5 reset the colors on my folders

[deep glen]

i wish you could export folder colors

or save them in a file that is easy trasnferable

[carmine frigate]

you could use namin contvention

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATextures

its fast to read

[tulip orbit]

folders should be the same as the background color

[carmine frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/code-purpose-of-life-matrix-gif-5601363

browsing the folder structures gives me too mixed results

so i allways use the searchbar

browsing folders might put me into the 1000yard stare state

totally forgot what i was browsing for but keep goin

[teal geode]

i sometimes like to explore my files, i find things to delete sometimes

anyways

anyone want the full beemovie script?

w i d e error

[indigo jewel]

guys has someone experience with this error: while trying to install visual studio MSI: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Microsoft.VisualStudio.VsWebProtocolSelector.Msi,version=16.10.31206.173\Microsoft.VisualStudio.VsWebProtocolSelector.Msi.msi, Properties: REBOOT=ReallySuppress ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 MSIFASTINSTALL="7" VSEXTUI="1" VSFOLDER="H:\VisualStudio\Shared" Return code: 1603 Return code details: Fatal error during installation. Message Id: 1324 Message Details: The folder path 'Visual Studio' contains an invalid character.

[deep glen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLR5gaQNQBk

@indigo jewel didnt ponkiss already tell you the problem?

[indigo jewel]

thx I solved it

that error was kinda dumb, it had nothing to do with invalid characters

I started using veracrypt, which changed F to H:, and even after I uninstalled visual studio with iobit uninstaller, registers still kept F.

so I needed to find all references to F, and change it to H

but the error was saying in "Visual Studio" which actually is completely wrong

if only you could game on linux

true , altough it's probably just hardcoded error message that's right or not 😄

altough I solved it only thanks to you. The link said I need to change som registers, and I appeared to notice it by luck. 😄

[deep glen]

that was amazing

[indigo jewel]

I googled it 20 times, each guy had different problem 🙂

[deep glen]

yea hehe, have to say. that engine is amazing at what it does hehe

[median wraith]

wow nice details on the volumetric fog

I like the top flow in the cannon

[deep glen]

i think it was made in octopath engine

hides

[median wraith]

XDDD

Cannot wait, to have next gen Hardware so we could finally add more detail to volumetrics and have the dammit smoke in 3d

is just me or that foliage is totally in 3D ? the grass layer

[primal spoke]

how about real time smoke particle system deformation.

that would be cool.

[median wraith]

yeah there is a game actually with such tech

but I don't think we have it any time soon, here

the guy that made that thing made a ray tracing engine working with that volumetric smoke and ray tracing in realtime at 60FPS on my 970

somehow

Dennis Gustafsson (@tuxedolabs)

I've been struggling to simulate "light" smoke that spreads and hangs in the air like most smoke do, and I finally got somewhere. This is suprisingly hard with particles, since you don't simulate the air around it. Amazing upcoming level by @ONSVRG and lighting by @HuntingFluff https://t.co/YHLMnij9eQ

Is there any sort of bone physical animation simulation for springy things? like radio antennas?

I want the bone to be influenced by motion, but try to snap back to its default position

[light spruce]

I got a "What the fuck?" from Cliffy B from one of my sound clips I made back when I was like.. 20

Because it was an advertisement for the Cliff Bleszinski Mind Control Pimp Kit

And the only Mega 64 skit I can remember is the Splinter Cell one where many, many, many pillows were stabbed

[fathom wadi]

the posts are pure shit right now.

[cursive crypt]

Wdym?

I see no 💩 on that screenshot 🤔

[fathom wadi]

"UE5 is great" - Yes we know.
"Is UE5 better than unity?" - You are unbuilt
"Look at how good my scene lighting is!" - You did nothing but switch on Lumen
"Are there are UE5 devs here?" - erm.

and the memes man.... the memes.

[tulip orbit]

memes are life

[light spruce]

Memes are digital vomit that people share via kissing

it's fucking gross

[fathom wadi]

memes I dont mind. Memes on that forum specifically bugs me more than it should

[light spruce]

I'm also mildly upset whenever people shit on other engine devs... like.. your fanboyism isn't a competition

People have done good work in Unity and made solid games... just like people have phoned it in and made abject garbage in Unreal

[fathom wadi]

Sure enough. I still don't understand why people have to post the question on the internet in a general way though. Rather than "is UE better than Unity" they could ask specifics.

[light spruce]

Any why can't ethanol make me not be hungry

ANY why

It's all that fanboy garbage

[cursive crypt]

Alcoholics are thin usually.

[light spruce]

I am thin.... probably a borderline alcoholic at this point

[cursive crypt]

Unlocking an achievement

[light spruce]

I think my biggest problem with games developed under Unity is that any I get seem to always do the most catshit job with input devices

[fathom wadi]

consider that I've heard so many questions about gamepads and UI with Unreal, I can't say that's different with UE either. People seem to have trouble with it

Its worse now with openXR and VR devices

[light spruce]

I have a Spacemouse for CAD stuff... and while, yeah, their entire software package is some garbage... I deal with so much dumb shit in a Unity game where it will grab it as a joystick and shit things up.

It was a thing with Valheim. Hasn't been an issue with GTFO (since it doesn't actually support joystick/gamepad axes) or Risk of Rain 2 (no idea if it has any gamepad support at all)

I vaguely remember looking into some extended controller support for UE4 ... for things like racing setups or HOTAS stuff

And, at the time it was basically YOLO GOOD LUCK

So... I kinda had an opposite problem, really

[fathom wadi]

I had to do manual HOTAS support for a VR game back before they added Raw Input. It was a pain in the axis.

[light spruce]

Probably a pain in several of them, considering how many you could potentially have

I imagine if you had to support something like a split throttle, you'd be better off just blowing your stack out

[fathom wadi]

was supporting those T.Flight hotas from thrustmaster which liked to hide some of the axis functionality entirely. Had to create SDL workarounds to even register them. The funny thing was, most of the functionality of the sticks wasn't even used. It was just done to avoid people complaining. Which they did anyway.

[light spruce]

It's almost like any controller other than a 2-axis joystick has been a total dogshit ponyshow in Windows since the dawn of time

[fathom wadi]

imagine pre-XInput. You had to write your own registry entries that cloned one of the other "supported" sticks. So with a HOTAS you would end up with a multi-axis general Logitech setup that would bork any chance of your installed drivers doing anything 😄

[light spruce]

We're still talking about Windows which can't handle the concept of a mouse with more than 5 "mouse" buttons

[fathom wadi]

"There is no need for more than 5 mouse buttons because we only have 5 fingers. Also, 640k ram" - Bill "I expect to defeat Malaria whilst I'm being divorced for banging office chicks" Gates

[light spruce]

I can't imagine juggling women like that.

And it wasn't until playing WoW on both a Mac and a Windows box that I noticed the mouse button limitation

[fathom wadi]

I had 3 girlfriends at the same time once. (they all knew so it wasn't a cheating thing). It was exhausting in a good way 😄

[light spruce]

[median wraith]

so there isn't a way to recycle the electric cars batteries yet ?

[fathom wadi]

there is a way but only 5% (roughly) get recycled. Probably due to expense or the fact not being well thought out. As soon as there is a business to be made from it, what how that figure skyrockets.

[light spruce]

the list of issues with LiIon/LiPo batteries is about 33 times as long as my dick

And recycling is definitely one of the things on there

Also not sure at what point they become worth recycling.. because.. you know... entropy is a thing

[quasi mantle]

I always have Tor and VM ready for testing links lol

[cursive crypt]

WinDef user here too.

I kinda don't remember using an AV app in the past 20 years. Tho, I got one virus long ago. Gladly, was from the stupid ones and was able to exterminate it after short fight.

That's for the ones I know tho 😄

[fathom wadi]

last time I had a virus was from a crack so it was my own fault and you kind of expect it. But that was way back. I haven't held a respect for AV software since the dos days. Even the kernel based stuff for OS these days is kind of stupid. I recall a friend of mine in the VX scene telling me he suspected Graham Cluely was creating some of the viruses based on his code to promote Sophos as an outlet. Which truly pissed me off and made me realise it's a scam business.

[cursive crypt]

Promote who? Otherwise, yeah, it is old con theory that AV makers make dem viruses. lol

[fathom wadi]

Sophos is a security firm which took on the VX scene for a while.

https://www.sophos.com/en-us.aspx

[cursive crypt]

Security is totally different domain. Kinda interesting, but... I have no time for it 🤷‍♂️
Too much multiplayer and I'm fan of single player games.

Yoo, just wondering what you guys used for your cloud backup, I was wondering if nordlocker is any good? Gdrive is starting to get expensive due to the size of these projects 🙂

[light spruce]

None of my backup stuff goes offsite.. so it's a problem if the building burns down.. but, at that point, I probably don't care anymore

GitHub, as always.

Granted, barely any of my stuff exceeds 100 MB, and if it does (either the built version of UE4 or something else), I'll upload it to Meganz.

[pearl elk]

Im just wondering the thought process you go through

like oh I wont use UE4... UE5 release... MUST USE

because they are so different right, UE4 has such shit graphics 😛

[fathom wadi]

the early bird catches the worm. Although there are foxes in the yard will eat the birds.

[pearl elk]

thing is you aint early if youre jumping on at UE5

[fathom wadi]

it's that inevitable influx of "need 5+ years of UE5 experience" we are gonna see next year in job postings :p

[mossy nexus]

Ahh so many people think that by talking a lot means they are right.. 😄

[fathom wadi]

😉

[pearl elk]

name a single game you bought solely because of the engine, UE5 wont do much for you really unless you can really harness it and gl doing that without atleast acouple of years Unreal Engine

[fathom wadi]

I only buy Unreal engine games. If it's not got that "U", I put it into a burning boat and send it out to sea. (please dont ban me, not a legit threat)

Theres a few I play that are Unity that I really enjoy, I just try to forget about my alliances while off duty 😛

[fathom wadi]

I only play games made on Hero Engine.

[deep glen]

octopath engine is where its at

[pearl elk]

that said Unity and Unreal make up a very small portion overall of the engines, there is still a HEAP of proprietary tech out there, if anything more so than the UE3 days

I think moving to 64bit will fix that somewhat

[median wraith]

na don't think is a 64bit problem or ue or whatever

[humble remnant]

Also you don't exactly need huge view distances

[median wraith]

I just mean that from 480p to 4k the needs are way bigger and the games on essence still the same due exact limitations just now everything is more detailed

but just the shadows and light still need a lot of resources to be made properly

does the new shadows support high ranges ?

someone tested that ?

[humble remnant]

Y'know one thing I'm kinda impressed by

The shadow resolution gets automatically lowered on that 6790

Kinda impressed that grahics like these even run at 1080p on it

It might be 7 fps

But still

Volumetric clouds, god rays, dynamic day/night cycle

Like 5000 grass meshes that wiggle

[pearl elk]

you think maybe all that red text has some impact on FPS?

[humble remnant]

Maybe

There is a chance

I haven't gotten to debugging it yet

Also there was supposed to be a character in the middle of it but I goofed my DLC build I guess

[median wraith]

6FPS lol

[humble remnant]

Tbh it's an ancient GPU

It's worse than PS4

[median wraith]

well technically Lumen shouldn't be running at all due you don't have DX12

[humble remnant]

I'm surprised all that fits in 1 GB frame buffer

Yeah

[cursive crypt]

dx12 is quite widespread actually

[humble remnant]

Not on a 10 year old GPU

Which is what I'm testing with

For the sake of it mostly

[cursive crypt]

huh

[fathom wadi]

dx12 crashes randomly in every single game I use it. Can take 10 minutes or 30 minutes but it flat out bricks for no reason

[cursive crypt]

Weird... have you paid your subscription for dx12?

[mossy nexus]

Still better than Cyberpunk 2077 on old consoles... 😄

[humble remnant]

There ya go

[fathom wadi]

@cursive crypt no but I downloaded more ram to use it. Still doesn't work

[humble remnant]

Dynamic shadows disabled, 40% resolution quality, actually playable

[pearl elk]

I think people forget DX12 is over 5yrs old

[humble remnant]

It is old

[pearl elk]

DX11 is well over a decade even to its final version

[humble remnant]

Hell, the standard goes back even further

But anyway, good to see old GPUs still going strong in supporting graphics

Even if the fps is

[median wraith]

DX12 is supported by every DX11 GPU excluded 1º gen

[pearl elk]

depends on the Shader Model level

DX12 has that Pro thing

[humble remnant]

It's a DX11 SM5 GPU so that's nice

And also, mine doesn't even dare to support DX12

The last driver that came out for it was in early '16

Officially it's only up to 11

[pearl elk]

DX12 Ultimate I meant, not Pro lol

Epic lists DX11/12 as SM5 in UE5 but under is experimental DX12 SM6

[median wraith]

is FC5 any better compared with the 4 ?

[cursive crypt]

I have played only FC5 and its DLC. Was quite happy with them. The only con was the unstoppable cutscenes.

[pearl elk]

lol gameplay

seems you can send post cards and buy maps in this game

yeah see this is what pisses me off abit, this is wasting time, feels like a super long load screen not anything important

or is this a countdown to the thing

pretty accurate though, took me 2 hours just to get through FC5s intro hehe

[mossy nexus]

Not Mr Freeman, another guy... be damned if I can remember his name though

[cursive crypt]

Buying postcards? Do you talk about FC5 or another one?

To accompany the visuals, Tomohiro Yajima, the sound effect director decided to create all the sfx by himself, by manipulating noise and waveforms instead of using sampling. An absurdly complex task that immensely benefited the game. He recently worked on NieR: Automata

Interesting to see that Vagrant Story basically preceded UE4's synth engine and UE5's MetaSound.

[light spruce]

Interesting to see that I'm not the only person who has heard of Vagrant Story

[cursive crypt]

Can confirm. I haven't.

[light spruce]

I'm not sure that it was really all that noteworthy of a game. Square. Controlled one guy. Had a kind of FFTacticts grid with elevation going on for the combat. Different weapon types that would get stronger against enemy types you used it on and weaker against the others.

I want to say you could name the weapons... so I had something like a Batkiller hand crossbow

And you could have eight weapons equipped at any given time.

Or I could be misremembering and I'm accidentally designing a game right now

[quasi mantle]

For one thing, the cutscenes has facial animation, which was achieved with interp shaders. The sound effect engine is almost entirely a synthesis, save for few sampled human sounds.

[light spruce]

I don't think they were exactly "shaders" as we would know them now

I might be wrong there too. It's been a while since I've really thought about the hardware of the era

Noise generated sound stuff is kinda cool.. but it's definitely a lot of work

Personally, I'd rather just do all my own Foley to avoid the "I've lost track of how many times I've heard that one door sound"

The one that is eternally stuck in my head is a boxed push bar for the latch followed by a squeak. buh-chunk..reeEP

[light spruce]

I'm going to do some gunsmithing. If anyone has a dumb suggestion for a noise generated sound, I'd take up that challenge for the hell of it.

[cursive crypt]

"Noise generated sound" sounds as undefined as it can be? In audio, it is called just "noise".

[light spruce]

Not generating noise.. using noise to create sounds

[cursive crypt]

What sounds? Bird songs? Wood hits?

Anyway, just saying it is not clear at all what is the goal.

[light spruce]

It was that twitter thing about Tomohiro Yajima

Like that's noise synth crap

[cursive crypt]

Hmm... procedurally synthesised sound

[light spruce]

Work complete. Now I can do... whatever I want. Whatever... that is.

[cursive crypt]

Clean the house, jog in the nearby park, cook.

[light spruce]

No factor, can't jog (also no park and it's 00:36), just ate a couple hours ago

Kinda wondering now if getting a place with stairs is going to turn out to be a really bad idea.

Design it is then.

I needed to generate a codename ... and in the process of finding the thing I use to generate such things... I found another name generator that has other generators... and I'm morbidly curious and terrified at the "Dating Profile Generator"

[cursive crypt]

Having a glance at these sites, I doubt it is so hard to make one.

[light spruce]

https://www.dating-profile-generator.org.uk/?i=1ukh611s

There are a bunch of things you can fill in... and a random button.

That's what came out of random

Weekends are the fucking worst.

Weekends at least give me a little hope that the next week will be different. Im stuck in a room of noise that prevents me doing anything and I just hope that one day I get a week of silence to work in

6. Argue with luos that his answer is wrong

7. luos makes your game just to prove he's right

[deep glen]

prolly true

[fathom wadi]

How to troll me in 2 screenshots. First. Show the metahuman as it should look before you use Take Recorder to import the facial mocap for recording.

Then show how it looks when you record it.

[deep glen]

oh god

[mossy nexus]

Moore's Law says "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

[fathom wadi]

With all the time I have spent trying to get a solid facial mocap into the engine with Faceware, I could have manually lip sync'd it with the control rig. It's literally taken me for a ride.

[mossy nexus]

Faceware a PITA?

[fathom wadi]

It's got another great quirk where you add a Metahuman to the sequencer and it stops being able to feed in from the app entirely. Which defeats the point for purpose. So I must be doing something wrong but I've tried their documented method and its pretty much breaking things

Im sure its great if you get the right setup but something keeps breaking

[mossy nexus]

damn, that's a shame

[fathom wadi]

like why on earth would it rescale the model at all?

time to try again but oh my lord, I'm just gonna steal an iphone at some point and avoid all this bs

ok got it this time. That was an undocumented foray into button bashing.

[fathom wadi]

Just to sum this day up to a tee, I tried to delete a Recorded Take, but somehow it deleted all the anim blueprint references in the Faceware AnimGraph with it. No idea how or why. But I'm about to have a heart attack as Im not using source control with this project.

I'm trying to find a way to render objects in the scene in different way

idk if use a postprocess or the materials as is

[fathom wadi]

Render them in a different way by not rendering them at all. It's the most optimised rendering system available.

[median wraith]

I wanted some kind of thermal vision

but all the net examples are basically custom depths

I want some kind of detail there

[fathom wadi]

well its an image editor. Not a buffer editor. It makes sense. I dont use that image editor much tho. Only when im compositing

I wouldn't expect it to unless it was set. But you should have been able to from the drop down

Last time I baked it was there anyway

Might be a different type of bake than I was doing

im on 3.0 because im cutting edge. Like a boolean.

I went to Lancaster army base once and we got to play with the anti-tank missile with heat vision. I saw someone fart a purple cloud and didn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes

[mossy nexus]

When thermal vision was first introduced to our regiment, to show off how good it was they had only a couple of tanks with it and everyone else didn't.. needless to say they were shock at how detailed the images were

Being able to see footprints glowing is weird 😄

Firing an SA-80 was weird. Did that later in the day and it felt like it had a reverse recoil. I had to dig my feet into the gravel so it didn't pull me forward. Accurate as hell tho

Personally, I think it could misled others with the discounted price, then potential buyers disappointed for the expensive price when the discount worn out.

you are too late, you need a pre order discount

For example, your friend buy a game for $29.99, when the actual price is $34.99

Come to think of it, many of anime effects are either voronoice and/or metaballs.
Voronoice are easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Metaballs though... Raymarching probably isn't a good solution for lowspec performance, and seem difficult to dissolve with noise opacity.

[quasi mantle]

They're pretty sneaky about it.

First, Google listing formatting for the website goes like this:

Then, in the site itself, they deliberately mix paid models in the search result, even in the "Free" tab and not in the "Premium" tab. As far as I'm aware of, there's no way to omit the paid ones from the list.

But then they also being "honest" about it - the list above contains more than 64 entries, with around 50% of it are filled with the paid stuff, when the reported 64 entries only putting the actually free listing into account.

XD

now are picked by a camera and a "robotic" arm

I liked when these were manually picked

In other hand is the only ass you will see here in your life @pearl elk so maybe is cuz that too

🤖

[pearl elk]

just as an FYI though, in Free 3d you have to be in the free section where everything is free, that model is in the premium section

[median wraith]

still they put paid ones

rather go to sketfab tbh

[pearl elk]

https://free3d.com/3d-model/professional-scene-with-coca-cola-bottle-57999.html

their idea of free is alittle different to mine though 😛

$0 comes with a free lawsuit

[median wraith]

XD

yeah that web is kinda meh

were looking for low res models like this

https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/disp/0c1b8554186703.5609334da6af3.jpg

But seems like its impossible

even if you expect to pay there is no decent ones

[humble remnant]

Or

Hear me out

You break a massive building in chaos and cache the result

[pearl elk]

@median wraith you could always hire me to make it for you 😛

[fathom wadi]

Chaos fracturing isn't enough on it's own though. You need to assemble the bits in a modular way. So most models are crap for purpose

[median wraith]

what the heck

[pearl elk]

thats a great tutorial lol

[torpid star]

how about we use this great realtime GI tech and apply a ps1 shader to the screen

[median wraith]

Don't think I can effort you or anyone right now lol

[torpid star]

living the future here

[median wraith]

It was my expectation

but the realtime GI isn't great lol

just vertex based

the biggest pain ins't to make the meshes but the UV and textures

[pearl elk]

imagine building GI by hand like the Pyramids

[median wraith]

idk man but the cost of this things are absurd

for such quality at least

but given a dumpster cost 200€

[light spruce]

Imagine imagining by hand like the pyramids

[median wraith]

the epic launcher takes to me more to load than battlefield 1

[pearl elk]

thats because it has better graphics than BF1 😛

[median wraith]

The game executed and joined game and the launcher still trying to show me the games

what ?

lol

not sure what I love the most

Google Chrome taking more memory than a AAA game

Origin taking a 30% of CPU

[pearl elk]

you do realise the launcher works quicker if you dont load games like BF1 at the same time 😛

[median wraith]

well its slower than any app really

still don't know why Epic just didn't used Qt as any other company did

[pearl elk]

are you convinced it would be quicker with Qt are you lol

[median wraith]

Well the time the Epic launcher takes to me, its the same Steam + Origin + BF1 took at the time to execute

even load the in game

that bad the times are on my end

takes like 3min

it have to compile windows shaders

😂

[pearl elk]

I think its because your library isnt offline on Epic launcher

it seems to always check online

more to do with the internet than the speed of the application itself

it also has 2 types of loading bar for whatever reason, dunno what the difference is for blue and yellow

[median wraith]

yeah

[deep glen]

that comment was a bridge too far

you are burning bridges here

[fathom wadi]

definitely a bridge over troubled discord hums in folk music

[carmine frigate]

bridge aint a real sport anyways

https://tenor.com/view/cracked-glass-walkway-funny-gif-12266064

ok mayB i was wrong about that

[light spruce]

Fun fact: nothing about Adobe bridge is fun

[pearl elk]

There are bridges in Death Stranding though

[carmine frigate]

wasnt there a game :bridge building simulator?

[cursive crypt]

That might be an untapped market right there.

huh, even I remember something now

[fathom wadi]

for some reason I have the motivation of a gnat today. Im surprised I was even motivated to whine about it in here

[light spruce]

Poly Bridge is... interesting

Because you can build a real bridge.... or you can do totally bizarre shit

@tulip orbit, :8ball: It is certain.

i just held right mouse and pressed E trying to scroll up in microsoft teams, hows your day?

[fathom wadi]

I use blender controls in UE even though there are no Blender controls in UE.

[cursive crypt]

Would love to see Blender keys in UE. Much convenient.

[carmine frigate]

i wrote a lil blender script, its not great but yall can have it 😛

import bpy

#print(bpy.context.selected_pose_bones)
skel = bpy.context.scene.objects["root"]
mesh = bpy.context.scene.objects["Mesh"]
print(skel.name)
print(mesh.name)

for x in bpy.context.selected_pose_bones:

print(x.name)  
bone = skel.pose.bones.get(x.name)
boneconstraint = bone.constraints.new('CHILD_OF')
boneconstraint.target = mesh
boneconstraint.subtarget = x.name

[cursive crypt]

You gotta pay ppl to use it, lol

[carmine frigate]

blender is great, it has had such a bad UI for so long.. it just hammered hotkeys into the users

shift D should be the norm 😛

[quasi mantle]

🤔

[carmine frigate]

thats not even the worst part

typing in those boxes... its damn broken

thats like the worst type box ever

I type it in notepad and paste it in there.. just too keep my sanity 😛

[thorny dock]

someone actually wrote a settings template (or whatever they call it) that gives UE viewport controls in blender, I wonder if theres the reverse

I could actually feel the neuro paths being formed as I spent months learning and getting used to the controls for both, it felt like my brain was trying to split into 2 pieces

[thorny dock]

when among us first hit EGS, I wondered why it was 1.1 gigs, it was because of this in the .egstore folder, which looks like its no longer there 😂

[quasi mantle]

Thankfully not anymore, it could stall my UE5 downloading.

[thorny dock]

haha youchers, thats quite impressive

[carmine frigate]

they are hoping on free debuggers

thats #1 reason to open ur code

https://tenor.com/view/shipit-ship-deployment-fail-nearmiss-gif-4770074

[fathom wadi]

you press the "make game" button. It's next to the "get years of experience making games, a team and a lot of money" button.

I guess that was the wrong answer

[deep glen]

I removed it

[fathom wadi]

its actually got me thinking. What is a retro horror game? I mean, I can name games like Alone in the Dark, Darkseed and the like, but what constitutes retro horror?

[deep glen]

the graveyard sections from nes's the legend of zelda :p

[fathom wadi]

I keep thinking of things like the classics, Frankenstein, Dracula and such. But then would you need to go back further? The Salem Witch Trials perhaps?

[deep glen]

first time an owl flew over during foraging at night

[fathom wadi]

The Crucible was a horror story in my mind, because of the nervous tension throughout the whole book.

oooh. Edgar Allen Poe stuff. The Pit and the Pendulum. etc

Would Layers of Fear count? That felt retro in a way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyDs5UJfvks yeah for sure. Thats pretty retro feeling

Some of the best shader work I'd seen at the time

yeah im no good with horror games. I get too immersed and it starts giving me PTSD as it's pretty much what every night I goto sleep feels like.

Maybe I should conceptualise a horror game as some kind of therapy

speaking of which, time to go snuggle with the wife, see if I can get an early night. Not in that way you mucky pervs. Just netflix and chill.

have a good one

[ivory lodge]

I'm making progress but it's soooooo.... sloooowwww....

@fathom wadiThe worst horror game is E.T. for the Atari. Why, because people spent $60 of 80's money for that steaming pile of shit. And that, my friends, is horrifying. Almost as bad as them making more copies than exiting Atari 2600s. Whenever anyone says rich people are rich because they are smarter than you, remind them of E.T.

I still remember hearing all the Whos in Whoville crying in unison that christmas...

[solemn steppe]

bruh,
so I am in UE5 and trying to remake a cutscene from COD but making parts of it towards graduation
thing is, I need an idle and walk animation and I dont have the time to do it on my own
so I wanted to see if I can do a migration from UE4 to UE5 by adding the animation starter pack so a blank project
NOPE because Epic Games cannot locate my UE4 thus making me reinstall it and wasting some valuable time

I dont really have a time requirement but I wanted to get it done before my graduation (which is this coming weekend) and I dont know how long this thing will take me so I wanted to get as much done as possible.
Tho the cutscene is just a simple walking towards the light in a dark long hallway with some voice lines in the background

ok rant over

Epic add a locate button ffs

[quasi mantle]

...you can just run the UE4Editor.exe and save even more time...

[solemn steppe]

I need to put in something from the Vault

and I dont know any other way to add it in besides the launcher

I already know how to run the engine without the launcher

[quasi mantle]

AFAIK, only Code Plugins requires an engine to be present in Launcher.

[solemn steppe]

I tried to add in the starter animation pack and it didnt work either

so I think its anything in the vault

bruh that woulda been good to know before I did a reinstall lmao

thank you

I installed the engine on an external

and I guess when the launcher opens is usually when my external was unplugged once and it didnt detect it

yee lol

Thats why a locate feature would be dope or there can be a feature that detects if the engine files are found in the specific path thats saved onto the launcher or something

no

it needs the folder to be empty

which is smolbrained

[quasi mantle]

Here's a trick:
Download the engine from the launcher, but once it actually started downloading (after Initializing or Please wait), kill the launcher process - use Task Manager and End Task; don't soft close the launcher! Then copy the engine that you already installed somewhere to the directory where the launcher downloads the engine.

Once that's done, open the launcher, resume the download and let the launcher verifying your installation.

[solemn steppe]

ill try that next time I need to locate it again

[humble remnant]

I myself tend to keep barebones installations on my HDD just so there's places to add engine plugins into

But I have a basically spare 4 TB HDD so yeah

Might not be feasible for you

Also I tend to be a madman and when it comes to adding content I select 4.26 version and migrate directly into my UE5 project

Has worked so far but I wouldn't recommend it

[light spruce]

It's easy: Just cram more SSDs in

or, even better, just use a ramdisk for everything.. then you can download more ram and never have storage problems again

[light spruce]

!8ball Query.

[turbid spindle]

@light spruce, :8ball: Outlook good.

[light spruce]

!8ball Confirmation requested.

[turbid spindle]

@light spruce, :8ball: Very doubtful.

[zinc matrix]

!8ball Will we get a new mannequin model in UE5?

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

[idle vortex]

Stupid question. I bought a laptop from Lenovo and I am returning it.
I have the original laptop box, but not the box that that came in. If that makes any sense.
Will I be ok to put the return label directly onto the laptop box??

[tepid ridge]

!8ball what is this

[turbid spindle]

@tepid ridge, :8ball: As I see it, yes.

[tepid ridge]

!8ball what is this?

[turbid spindle]

@tepid ridge, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

[quasi mantle]

!8ball Should I cook some chicken soup tonight?

[turbid spindle]

@quasi mantle, :8ball: Don't count on it.

[deep glen]

!8ball should Hoodie have a 5 course meal tonight?

[turbid spindle]

@deep glen, :8ball: Yes – definitely.

[quasi mantle]

Sadly, I didn't bought many ingredients from the grocery store :"3

It's already 18:00 in GMT+7, and only the minimarkets are open...

[zinc matrix]

!8ball should I go to bed at a reasonable hour, or download UE5 and learn it?

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

[pearl elk]

Looks like there is more going on under the hood with UE5 than Epic let on

let me say one word... Components

[pearl elk]

ModularGameplay.uplugin

[quasi mantle]

Can it backported?

Though I won't hold my breath as backporting MetaSound to UE4 is a lot more involving.

[pearl elk]

Why backported, you may as well use UE5 once its ready

seems like gameplay will finally be much more modular which is awesome, game features plugin looks pretty cool too being able to hook in animation layers

[quasi mantle]

Carrying over the modifications I made to my UE4 would be a hassle though, and it's still eighth gen console configuration in mind.

So might as well stick to UE4.
Though I might use UE5 for the Deluxe edition or something.

[pearl elk]

yeah but you kinda changed the topic, why backport? If youre so deep on UE4 this stuff wont be any use at this point in your project anyway

[humble remnant]

Tbh you can probs upgrade the engine out of the blue later down the line

Though maybe rather hard if you have a lot of C++

[pearl elk]

Its not just about upgrading the engine though, with game framework stuff your game has to be built on it for it to be any use

[quasi mantle]

Well, I had quite a lot of C++ going on already.

[humble remnant]

True

Which reminds me I need to adapt my mod loading to modular gameplay

[pearl elk]

its all good to stick to UE4, plenty of companies stuck with UE3 variants for a long while and some of the UE2 variants were better than UE3 early versions hehe

Vengeance engine had a better post process stack lol

[humble remnant]

Bioshock was in UE2 to my knowledge

Hella impressove

[deep glen]

they did massive modifications to it for bioshock

[light spruce]

Shame none of those modifications improved the gameplay

[pearl elk]

most companies did thats why they stuck with UE3 for Mortal Kombat

tbh I preferred Bioshock 2

[light spruce]

I didn't play it. I played Infinite. I don't know which I hated more.

[quasi mantle]

I heard NetherRealm's job listings require UE4 experience, though that's probably for the mobile game which did use UE4.

[pearl elk]

well MK 11 was UE3 but their new stuff is probably UE4/5

I think I hear they are doing something Marvel, maybe just a rumour

[humble remnant]

Squenix is already making another Marvel game

[pearl elk]

does seem odd since its WB owned though, thats DC territory

could be Injustice

[quasi mantle]

Probably another Injustice game indeed.

[pearl elk]

I know Gearbox ported Scaleform to UE4 lol

[quasi mantle]

Though I don't enjoy the Avengers game loop at all.
Thankfully I'm able to refund it.

[pearl elk]

Im assuming it was easier to port the plugin than to rewrite the UI

[quasi mantle]

For Borderlands 3 I presume?

[humble remnant]

Avengers is a dumpster fire of a game

It's more mobile game than it is a PC/console

Hell, I've played gachas with a better core loop

[quasi mantle]

I mean, you have Genshin Impact covering that side.
But then I prefer play FF14 over that gacha ridden game.

[pearl elk]

Tekken mobile is really bad lol

its super good game then suddenly, bam paywall

[quasi mantle]

I don't even aware Tekken mobile exists.
Though they did soft crossover with Idolmaster Million Live last April Fools.

[humble remnant]

Every mobile game is like that

Engaging core loop then boom

[quasi mantle]

Genshin Impact had me in the first 4 hours ngl

[pearl elk]

it sucks because some of these mobile games Id pay $10-15 for easy but not in bits and bobs

[humble remnant]

At least it's F2P

[pearl elk]

Im signed up for Diablo Immortal just to see what it'll be like, wonder if its gonna be buying gems n shit 😛

[quasi mantle]

Though according to Genshin Impact fanbase, I "set the wrong expectations", even though I'm expecting it to be a decent action RPG with compelling story, comparable to FF14.

So story, another issue I had with Genshin. The waifus felt so dull, like cardboard cutouts created just to check typical waifu tropes.

[pearl elk]

I really hate mobile though, there are some really cool games there but just too much grind to make you pay

I wonder how many people who regularly play on there know there was a better world once, where you could unlock all the cars in a racing or fighters in a fighting game just by playing them

[quasi mantle]

I think mobile market used to be good, but then people find out about F2P with P2W advantages, and scared to crap when asked to pay upfront to play a game.

[pearl elk]

yeah and theres a saying in retail you can always lower your price if its too high but you cant raise it if its too low

so now theyve made this stuff free thats where the customers expectation is

it'd be like trying to sell someone a $5 premium coffee after theyve been drinking free coffee for most their life

kinda messed up that you have to add MTX even if you dont want to just to fit with the customers expectations

[foggy path]

you cant raise it if its too low
Depends on product :P

[pearl elk]

nah pretty sure people will just wipe their arse with rocks if your toilet paper is too expensive lol

but anyways Epic is under selling UE5 I think

[fathom wadi]

the film industry isn't underselling it though. All my virtual production groups are going mental for it

[pearl elk]

yeah but thats my point, there is alot more than just the visuals and I dont think thats really getting sold to its full potential

its still a game engine right

[fathom wadi]

indeed. I heard you can make Flappy Bird look freaking awesome with it

[pearl elk]

they need to show more complex gameplay, the Action RPG demo wasnt bad but people arnt really going to look at Fortnite and see UE5 even when its ported over

I think they really need a big seller thats both visuals and complex gameplay

[carmine frigate]

<@&213101288538374145>

aaaand blocked

[light spruce]

That was a real what the fuck moment.

[fathom wadi]

what an arsehole jesus. Next time Unreal Engine releases a new version, make it 10 days server time before they can post a message

[pearl elk]

people like that are really going to start ruining things for everyone

[light spruce]

things are already ruined

what's a little more lead in the water

[fathom wadi]

it can be managed with some intro-time before posting. Works a treat for the streaming channel
